"CrispyRX7" has them (or at least had them). I think he's still using them.

Overkill unless you are running on the track regularly.

I will be posting my review of the Rotary Extreme dual 25-row oil coolers later this week. You might want to see my comments in addition to reading Chris Regan's (CrispyRX7) fine write-up on his site.

I might be doing a group buy on these in a few months. 10 to 15% off. Not if they are out of business though. If they are it is news to me. Can anybody confirm this?

I think Duane's been out of the game for some time.

But, all the CWC stuff was of excellent quality and design.

They ought to take down their web page, then.

I think both Duane and David have posted here in the not so distant past (I seem to remember a post in the big brake group buy from David), but it's been awhile since I've heard from either one.

David and Duane were two separate entities. That is an important distinction. Duane (CWR/CWC) was, uh, not timely in delivering product. IC duct anyone?

Neither was David, but I thought they were the original "founders" of Crooked Willow. No?

Well I'm not sure, David I think had a separate business (Widefoot?) and just let Duane sell Widefoot products.

Duane responded to my emails re: the oil cooler setup about 2-3 months ago. If they are out of business, it's been since then.

I have to disagree. I had the CWC Dual oil cooler kit and it was a shitty design to say the least. The oil cooler thermostat is connected to the engine block by a single 90 degree fitting supporting it's weight. This fitting has cracked on me TWICE causing my car to leak oil from it all over the track. Thank god I saw my oil light in time or else it could have led to an expensive rebuild. After having this happen to my two times, I decided to completely redo all the lines and fittings so now the car runs fine.

Also, if you ever want to get a FMIC, it won't work with this oil cooler kit because of the position the oil cooler thermostat is located.

No one's going to pay that much for the stock setup, even if it only has 19k miles on it. You'd be lucky to get $600.

Interesting,

I have a set of their coolers and helped install a set on a car here in Houston last month. If they went under it was just recently.

Their parts worked great but installing them was tricky at times.

twin coolers are never overkill on a car that runs hot.
